Made in China : a memoir of love and labor / by Qu, Anna,author.;: "As a teen, Anna Qu is sent by her mother to work in a garment factory in Queens. At home, she works as a maid and babysitter for her step-siblings, and suffers punishment for doing her homework at night. Her mother wants to teach her a lesson: she is Chinese, not American, and such is their tough path in their new country. But instead of surrendering, Qu alerts the Office of Family and Child Services, an act with consequences for the rest of her life. Nearly 20 years later, estranged from her mother and working at a Manhattan startup, Qu requests her OFCS report. When it arrives, key details are wrong, revealing the indifference of the system. Faced with this false narrative, and on the brink of losing her job as the once-shiny startup collapses, Qu looks once more at her life's truths, from abandonment to an abusive family to seeking dignity and meaning in work.
